Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup Roasted Peanuts (Unsalted for better control of seasoning)
- 2 tablespoons Chili Flakes (Adjust based on spice tolerance)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Adds savory depth)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (Balances the heat)
- ½ teaspoon Salt (Enhances flavors)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Used for frying)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil, allowing it to warm up for even roasting of the peanuts.
- Roast the peanuts: Add the roasted peanuts to the skillet and stir frequently to toast them evenly until they turn golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the spice mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine chili flakes, garlic powder, sugar, and salt to create the flavorful chili coating.
- Mix peanuts with spices: Once the peanuts are toasted, transfer them immediately into the bowl with the spice mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure all peanuts are well coated with the chili seasoning.
- Cool and store: Allow the peanut chili crisp mixture to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container for storage, where it will stay fresh and crispy.
